Enables retrieval of Unicode codepoint characteristics like category, bidirectional class, derived property, and joining type through convenient extension properties, addressing limitations of existing APIs.
Surfaced from shared tags and platforms — no rankings paid for.
The karacteristics library provides convenient extension properties to get characteristics for Unicode codepoints. The following characteristics are available:
The first two properties are generated using information from https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/ resource. The latter two are generated from the corresponding files.
There is no way to get codepoint characteristics in Kotlin Multiplatform.
The available API provides only category property for Char type.
But this is no enough - some of the Unicode codepoints take more than 2 bytes (size of Char).
Because of that, the existing API returns incorrect information for such codepoints.
The library is published to Maven Central. To use it, just add a corresponding dependency to the common source set.
